Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 222 Ambush
Dugu Yan possesses Dugu Bo's inner elixir, a connection made through blood ties, allowing her to exert some of the inner elixir's effects.

Tang San could sense that Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorus Serpent Venom was fundamentally different from before. As a disciple of the Tang Clan, this was the first time he had encountered such a difficult situation with poison.

The most obvious improvement comes from the amplification of soul skills.

With the enhancement of the inner core, Dugu Yan's four soul skills were all strengthened.

Dugu Yan's first, second, and third soul rings lit up, and three-colored poisonous mist emerged from her mouth, quickly forming a poison control field.

"Xiao Wu, come back to my side." Tang San immediately called out to Xiao Wu.

This was a deadly poison that even he found troublesome, so naturally he wouldn't let Xiao Wu risk her life.

Dugu Yan's first and second soul skills were originally only hundred-year soul skills, but with the enhancement of her inner core, their effects reached the level of thousand-year soul skills.

Most importantly, the inner core will provide her with soul power.

Using three soul skills at once quickly replenishes the consumed soul power.

At this moment, Dugu Yan smiled when she saw that Tang San was afraid of her Jade Phosphorus Serpent Venom.

But before she could even feel smug, she was immediately shocked by what she saw.

The weak Blue Silver Grass martial soul was completely unafraid of the poison, tearing through her poisonous mist with a frenzied manner.

"How is that possible? My deadly poison can even dissolve the Vajra Vine, and his martial soul is clearly just Blue Silver Grass," Dugu Yan said incredulously.

Since the poison couldn't restrain the Blue Silver Grass, Tang San was about to demonstrate the power of a control-type Soul King.

In an instant, the entire arena was covered with dense blue silver grass, and the thick blue silver grass, like a giant python, launched a fierce attack on Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan.

Xiao Wu, who had been waiting for the right moment, seized the opportunity and teleported behind Yu Tianheng.

He was greeted by Xiao Wu's first soul skill, Waist Bow!
Yu Tianheng immediately launched a counterattack, unleashing a torrent of violent lightning from his body. With the lightning level of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, the defense provided by his martial soul alone was insufficient to withstand it.

Seeing that Yu Tianheng was in trouble, Dugu Yan's fourth soul ring suddenly lit up.

Fourth Soul Skill: Azure Phosphorus Thrust!
And her target is Xiao Wu!
Similarly, Xiao Wu's fourth spirit ring emitted a dazzling light.

Fourth Soul Skill: Invincible Golden Body!
Yu Tianheng's thunderous power and Dugu Yan's fourth soul skill landed on the Invincible Golden Body, but instead of causing any harm to Xiao Wu, they exposed themselves to Tang San's sight.

Fifth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Overlord Spear!

This is a single-target attack belonging to the Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill, and the damage it causes is incomparable to that of the Thousand Year Soul Skill.

From the very beginning, Xiao Wu used teleportation to appear behind Yu Tianheng, and everything fell into Tang San's calculations.

Use the invincible duration of the Invincible Golden Body to draw their attacks, thereby exposing their weaknesses, and finally use the Eternal Soul Skill to eliminate them.

All of this was meticulously planned and arranged by Tang San.

Dugu Yan, who possesses an inner core, has crowd control abilities that are no less than those of a Soul King, but compared to Tang San, she is still far inferior.

With Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan eliminated, the situation for the Tiandou Royal Team can be described as extremely dire.

The second match featured Yu Feng and Aos Luo, who faced a formidable attacking duo of Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai.

It's clear that Team Shrek doesn't intend to drag the game into a third match; they want to end it in the second. The combination of Yu Feng and Oslo was originally intended to use a weaker horse to defeat the opponent's stronger one, but their first move backfired, leading to a crushing defeat in the second.

Yu Feng and Auslo didn't even put much pressure on them before Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun eliminated them.

Two consecutive wins mean that the Shrek team has advanced to the next round and does not need a third match.

The two teams that advanced to the finals were still Shrek Team and Spirit Hall Team.

Tie Li was quite surprised by this scene. It seemed that his appearance as a butterfly had brought about a great effect, yet it also seemed that there hadn't been much change.

The two teams in the final of the Soul Master Competition are still Shrek Academy and Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall announced the format of the finals, which consists of individual competitions, team competitions, and 2-2-3 group matches.

There are three competition formats, totaling three points. Winning each format counts as one point. The first team to reach two points will be the champion of this Soul Master Tournament.

The finals are scheduled for seven days from now!

But all of this has little to do with Tieli anymore, as the eliminated teams are not allowed to enter the Papal Palace to watch the match.

Back at the team's lodgings, after a quick tidy-up, it was time to return to Tiandou City.

On the way back, they were escorted by Dugu Bo and three members of the Education Committee. The main team and vice-team of the Tiandou Royal Team had been eliminated in the semi-finals, so they were escorted back to the academy together.

"Your ability to control three Thunder Sounds is far beyond my expectations." Dugu Bo arrived at the carriage where Tie Li was. He had witnessed the battle and was quite shocked that Tie Li could unleash three Thunder Sounds.

"Only with three thunderous sounds could I be confident in breaking their self-created soul skill under the fusion of their martial soul techniques. However, the three thunderous sounds put a great burden on my body. I almost became useless because of my own actions," Tie Li said.

"Hahaha, you make it sound so easy. Back then, your Wind and Thunder Sect's old dragon, with a soul power cultivation of level eighty-eight, only comprehended three thunder sounds."
But with his three thunderous roars, he could withstand that old man, Tuoba Xi.

Tuoba Xi, the sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect, is a level 91 Title Douluo, and his martial soul is the White Armored Earth Dragon.

"By the way, what's the deal with Yanzi? I don't remember her having such strong combat power."

"Haha, you figured it out." Dugu Bo didn't hide anything and told everyone about the Danzhu.

"What a pity. If I had given the poison pill to Yan Yan as well, do you think she could have defeated that kid Tang San?"

Dugu Bo was still somewhat unwilling to accept that his granddaughter had lost to Tang San, but anyone with eyes could see the difference between the two, not only in terms of strength, but also in the fact that Tang San possessed the calm mind required for a control-type character.

"I'm afraid Yanzi won't be able to use this poison pill." Tie Li shook his head. The poison pill is different from Dugu Bo's pill pearl, which is cultivated through martial spirit cultivation.

Dugu Yan's martial spirit can be said to originate from Dugu Bo. It was only because of her close bloodline that she was able to unleash part of the power of the pill pearl. However, the poison pill was refined by Dugu Bo. In the end, she successfully condensed the pill by relying on her own extreme lightning.

Without Dugu Bo's martial spirit and soul power, it would be difficult to use the poison pill, and it might even backfire on the soul master.

As they left the territory of Wuhun City and were about to enter the Heaven Dou Empire, they discovered an army ahead and assumed it was a reinforcement sent by the empire.

But upon seeing the army's armor and battle flags, it became clear that this army was not from the Heavenly Dou Empire.

It was the army of the Star Luo Empire.

"You bastard, I, the prince, will definitely kill you today."
